Much Needed Info on Proxy Server

[Alain Desmarais]

Hi there all,

I'm currently doing a stage for school in a company which want secure
internet access. We will have a 128Kb line coming in, so I thought I'd make
a demilitarized zone, into a proxy server, into our lan.

--------- | NT PROXY | ---------
internet company lan

(I'm not too good at ascii drawings :)).

Now my problem is that our company's lan uses the 10.x.x x Class A
addresses, which are reserved for private networks, and thus are not valid
on the Internet. Will the Proxy server do the translating, so that users on
the lan would be able to WWW, FTP, ICQ, SMTP? If not, what do I need?
Any help greatly appreciated! I also have a few other questions relating to
DNS in this setup, but it'll wait for now... Thanks!

Kevin,
You system will work just fine. I have this configuration running at home
and at a school for which I am the Technology Chairman. To use FTP, POP3 or
IMAP4 clients you will need to install the Winsock Proxy Client software on
each (it comes with the MS Proxy 2.0 Server). I'm not sure what you mean by
SMTP since your picture does not indicate an E-mail server on the NT PROXY
or inside the LAN.

Hey!! I am about to do the same... I have 18 machines connected with a router
x.x.x.x (external IP) Everything Works. BUT... we are opened to internet since
every machine IP it's one of our CLASS C. I though about MSproxy2 as some kind
of Firewall, hidding our internal net, and making our machines to pass through
it. How can I do this?!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Martin.
